WANTED: A SECOND CHANCE — One historic Everett landmark seeks a brighter future. Some rust, faded paint, and missing neon. Plenty of character.

ART PATRONS: TAKE NOTICE — The Schack Art Center celebrates the creative spirit of Everett. Let's honor that spirit by preserving a colorful piece of the city's commercial art history.

GARDEN LOVERS: TAKE ROOT — The Everett Arboretum and Gardens could provide a fitting new home for a sign that once welcomed generations of gardeners. A little history among the flowers.

CONTRIBUTIONS WELCOME — Help restore a piece of Everett history. Every donation brings us one step closer to bringing the Rake & Shovel sign back to life.

LOCAL LANDMARK – From 'Farmers Feed & Seed' to 'Farmers Garden Center' to 'Pacific Stone Company' each era holds cherished local memories.

COMING SOON: A BRIGHTER FUTURE — One vintage sign. Two oversized garden tools. A little fresh paint and a whole lot of neon. Everett history is ready for its next chapter.
